Indians were outplayed.

"As allways" He should start with it. How many more matched we need to loose to realize the importance of good bowling strategy and # of bowlers. ? How can one bring in the no regulars in the do or die situations? It's high to get rid of Zahir & Nehara they have not deliverd to their best. or other wise the media have hyped them a lot...

time for new bowlers to come in. Yiu just cannot win next WC these bowlers.

Any team can outplay the much hyped up Team India. If a team cannot defend a stiff target of 292 runs in a D/N match in a huge ground like the Eden Gardens, the team is not worth its salt. Dew or no dew, the bowling should have been much more disciplined. We could take only 4 wickets out of which one was taken of a rubbish delivery. The Tendulkars and Sehwags [average of 18.7 in the last 15 ODIs], have to take lessons from the young Salman Butt on how to remain focused for a long period, play disciplined cricket and achieve the target through correct cricketing strokes rather than resorting to irrational across the line heaves. Experience of having played 100s of matches has no earthly use for the side if the silly mistakes are repeated every time. We had the opportunity to take the score to well beyond 300 and out of the reach of the Pakis but for the foolish run out of Schin [going for a non-existent single - what is the use of his experience of 340 matches?] and stupid across the line heave of Sehwag. Of course, these "heros" will commit a different kind of silly mistake the next time. Judicious selection of the playing eleven is one way to get better results.

Mr Indian skipper,u dont seem 2 learn frm ur previous mistakes at all.U have lost whenever u have dropped Kumble in very important games!What does it mean by dropping a world class bowler?its absolutely being reckless on ur part.Dont bring in any kind of POLITICS into the game and spoil the quality of the game,atleast now realise the importance winning a game!even now if u dont happen to realise this..then its better u retire Mr ganguly.

I would say ganguly just lost the match with ease, therefor he realized that pak's just outplyed them. Butt was lookin awesome and he was just much technical foot movement, playing all shots on the ground. India again u lost this match. Its been disaster for u guys just to get knocked over easily every time now and then.
